2. When the tomatoes begin to look dry, reduce the heat to medium-low and start adding the cheese, 1 handful at a time, stirring over medium-low heat until the cheese melts; wait for each handful to melt before adding more cheese.

3. Serve in a chafing dish or fondue pot to keep the queso warm. Serve with corn chips, tortilla chips, or cut-up vegetables.
